Got a Depo question
| Thu, 06-24-2004 - 9:05pm |
Hey everyone. A little info. here I had my baby on 2-28-04 and the on and only depo shot I had on 2-29-04. I was supposed to get another shot at the end of May but i did not and I still have not started my period, the Dr. says everything is fine, and there is no chance of pregnancy. Has anyone ever had this problem, or is there anything over the counter that i could take to help me start. Thanks

Delayed ovulation after coming off Depo is a common side effect in some women. Well, “there is no chance of pregnancy” meaning you aren’t pg now, right? You can not count on your Depo shot protecting you effectively for longer than 12 weeks so I hope you are using an effective means of contraception. You could talk to your doc about trying to jumpstart your period. Some women have gone on oral contraceptives which I think has worked. Talk to your doc and see what s/he says. Let us know how you are doing, ok?
Good luck,
Jill
